Contracts Don't Solve Everything

Many of the battles featured in Breeders have to do with one of the parties changing their mind. Whether it is a family deciding they no longer want the child or a partner deciding to keep the child all to himself, these emotional last-minute decisions lead to a lot of drama and hardships. Some say the solution is to sign an ironclad contract, but Lahl says it isn't that simple.

"This is baby making here," she says. "This isn't, 'I told you I'd sell you my car and then I change my mind.' Nobody owes anybody a child."
